What role can local authorities play in promoting the role of men, especially fathers, in striking a better balance between work and family life?
The Co-responsibility project was designed to examine this question. The project has been led by the European New Towns Platform (http://www.newtowns.net), a network of 30 European towns in nine countries, working in partnership with local councils and research centres.
It was financed by the European Commission through its gender equality programme.
